School water education resources
We want to inspire students to work towards a sustainable water future.
Lesson plans and activity sheets
Our water education lesson plans and activity sheets are ideal for prep to Year 7 students. Lesson plans highlight the value of water and cover five topics:
- water as a valuable resource
- sources of water
- using water wisely
- alternative water sources – recycled water and desalination
- sustainability.

Educational books
The Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water have released two printable children’s books about how important water is:
- Whizzy's incredible journeys: pick-a-path children's book
- Whizzy's new adventures: journey through the pipes children's book.
The books help teach these key messages:
- water is precious
- water is continually reused
- we all need to use water wisely
- before we use water at home, it is treated so that it is safe to use
- sewage that goes down drains is treated so that it can be safely released into the environment
- it is harmful to put certain things into the water system through the toilet or the drain
- we are all responsible for making sure only the right things go down drains, sinks and toilets.
You can also use the Guideline for use – Whizzy's new adventures: journey through the pipes to help you grow children's understanding of water and its importance in the environment.
